...Sixteen points was the margin of victory of the crack Holy Cross basketball team over the Crimson quintet at Worcester last night, the final score being 40 to 24. After a neck and neck contest during most of the opening period, the Purple five finally succeeded in breaking away into a commanding lead which from the final minutes of the opening session it never again relinquished...
...hope of the most sanguine adherents of disarmament. After weeks of doubt and indefiniteness, his concrete, practicable program for the reduction of naval armaments comes as a gratifying surprise. Recent reports, the President's repeated declaration that this was not a disarmament conference, and especially the part of his Sixteen Points which dealt with armaments, have had a discouraging effect, and made many people sceptical about the results of the conference.

It is expressly stated that the program is offered principally as a starting point for discussion...
...those who have held too great hopes for the Conference are bound to be disappointed when they read those of the sixteen points which have to do with limitation of armaments. There are nine of these; only two of them make any proposals concerning the reduction of navies. One suggests a cessation during a definite period of years of all naval construction; but this is qualified by a clause excepting vessels built to replace obsolete war ships-certainly an important reservation. The other, which at least has the virtue of expediency, would effect an immediate reduction of naval expenditure...
